May 2021 in “Experimental Cell Research” In this study, SFRP1 expression was found to be upregulated in hair follicles from men with androgenetic alopecia, with the transcription factor FOXC1 playing a significant role in its regulation.
September 2023 in “The FASEB journal” This study found that the protein Foxn1 is crucial for the development and fat-storing capacity of dermal white adipose tissue in mice, influencing both lipid metabolism and adipogenesis in the skin through Bmp2 and Igf2 signaling pathways.
